TXT Reveals ‘Afterglow’ Concept with Striking Visuals
K-pop boy group TXT (Tomorrow X Together) has once again captured fans’ attention with a powerful concept photo release. At midnight on July 10, the group unveiled the ‘Afterglow’ version of their upcoming 4th full-length album ‘The Name Chapter: TOGETHER’ through official social media channels.
Emotions After the Storm
Following a teaser that focused on the members’ intense gazes, the full concept photos showcase the group in a post-battle-like setting. With torn clothing, visible bruises, and dried traces of tears, members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai portray the raw aftermath of an emotional journey. These visuals reflect the album’s motif of understanding and emotional connection as a means to save one another and ultimately the world.
Visualizing Catharsis
Set against a red-stained sea and shadowy black rocks, the contrasting colors build a sense of tension and reflection. The members are seen sitting on wet ground, breathing heavily as if catching their breath after a long struggle. Their solemn expressions and piercing eyes intensify the mood, delivering what fans are calling a visual catharsis.
One fan commented, “The ‘Afterglow’ concept feels like the closing scene of a movie—you can feel everything they’ve been through with just one glance.”
Anticipation for Upcoming Versions
Known for their visually rich storytelling, TXT has continued to elevate the lore of each album with cinematic imagery. With ‘Afterglow’ setting the tone, anticipation is growing for the remaining concept versions titled ‘Starlight,’ ‘Etched,’ and ‘Awake.’
